About This Movie

Bad Dreams (2018) is a unique blend of horror that dives into the psyche of its characters, merging reality with nightmarish sequences. The film opens with a chilling scene—a boy's horrifying nightmare manifesting into his waking life, setting a tense atmosphere from the get-go. The practical effects are a standout, especially the grotesque imagery of the deformed face, which really lingers.

There's a dark introspection woven through the narrative, particularly in the protagonist's morbid musings while shaving. It’s this chilling contemplation that really sets the tone, making it more of a psychological experience than just another jump scare fest.
